Aussie Version Fried Rice
"My husband is originally from Australia. When we go back I am constantly looking though cookbooks. I think I found this is one of my mother-in-laws old cookbooks. This is a very simple recipe made with things usually on hand. Also, big plus my kids love it."

ingredients
directions
- Cook the rice with the peas according to package directions. I use a microwave rice cooker, works great. I also put in 1 chicken boullion for flavor.
- While this is cooking chop up the bacon and fry with onion in fry pan. I use kitchen shears to cup up bacon. I like to brown the bacon well, it seems to add extra flavor.
- Add the cooked rice, peas, and soup to the pan. Original recipe didn't call for it, but I add a bit of water at this stage and 1-2 T butter if getting dry looking. Cook for 15 minutes. Helps to put lid on skillet I find. It helps to soften the noodles from the soup mix. Need to keep an eye on the prevent sticking. Add 2 scrambled eggs, cook through. Enjoy!

I needed to use up a package of chicken noodle soup mix and found this recipe. The tastiest fried rice ever! -
this was pretty great, I didn't use any onion because I didn't have any, and the bacon I used was some of that real bacon bacon bits stuff, because thats all I had, but I reallly liked it, the soup added really nice flavor
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
We are recent transplants from Iowa to NC. I have 4 and 1 1/2 year old boys. I am a stay-at-home Mom. My husband is originally from Australia so I make a lot of Australian dishes. I love to read in my spare time and do cross stitch. I am also trying to teach myself how to play the electronic keyboard. I also do espionage work for the government in my spare time. Just kidding, but my bio sounded so boring I had to add something exciting. My days are rather full of food fights and scraped knees. I love to put a home-cooked meal on the table every night for my family, even if I do hear I'm not going to eat that!
November 2008..As the old saying goes, time flies. I thought it time to update the info here. We have now been in NC for 3 1/2 years and have added another boy to our crew. Yes, that makes 3 crazy boys! Their ages are 7,4, and 18 months. I can entice the oldest to try most anything. Our 4-year-old would live on PBJ, and mac & cheese if I let him. The youngest will eat any veggie put in front of him, so far! I'm sure his brothers will set him straight. Oh, I forgto to mention that we homeschool, so easy to recipes that don't take long to put together are high on my list now.
